Employment for industrial designers (a career that is related to that of UX designer) is expected to grow by 2 percent from 2014 to 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Job opportunities for graphic designers (another related career) in computer systems design and related services are projected to grow 21 percent during the same time period. Opportunities for UX designers should most closely mirror those of graphic designers in computer systems design and related services. Tech companies have realized that creating user-friendly products gives them an edge over their competition; the popularity of visually attractive and user-friendly products from Apple is one example of this trend.
